Shooting has continued for "Fast and Furious 7" sans Paul Walker, the franchise star who died in a car accident this past summer.

Walker did not finish filming the movie before his death, but he will appear in the whole film with the help of some movie magic.

"They have hired four actors with bodies very similar to Paul's physique and they will be used for movement and as a base," one source close to production told The New York Daily News. "Paul's face and voice will be used on top using CGI."

A person involved in production said that CGI, or computer generated-imagery, is the option that Universal Pictures has chosen in order to keep the film consistent and have Walker appear in later scenes. The studio said they are confident that fans will be happy with the end result.

Walker has played police officer Brian O'Conner in every film in the series except for "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift."

Universal confirmed in December that Walker would appear in the latest film, but had not previously said how they would address the star's absence.

"Continuing the global exploits in the franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead the returning cast of 'Fast & Furious 7,' which will be released by Universal Pictures on April 10, 2015," the studio had said in a statement. "James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series, and Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel return as producers."

The cast and crew have since resumed shooting scenes in downtown Atlanta.

Franchise star Vin Diesel recently posted a picture on his Facebook of him and Walker, with the caption: "There was a unique sense of completion, of pride we shared ... in the film we were now completing ... the magic captured ... and, in just how far we've come ... 'Fast and Furious 7' will be released ... April 10th 2015! P.S. He'd want you to know first."
